Tried updating to the latest version of espeak, works fine now.
Would be good to have voice mapping control in the module as espeak offers
so many more voices than speech-dispatcher offers, but in some ways that's
more of a speech-dispatcher problem (it may have been better if it had a
function to retrieve a list of voice names that clients could use, rather
than this set number).
